Is Music Finite or Infinite? Improvisation, Notation, and Performance
Michelle Ross, violin and composition
The Listen Hear series returns to explore improvised music, a mysterious intersection of creation and interpretation. Michelle Ross, an alumna of the Perlman Music Program, discusses the creative process, including her library of personal voice memos and galleries of her own manuscripts. In this recreation of her workspace, the salon features premieres of new works that Ross will improvise for all to enjoy.

Textures and Timbres
Max Tan, viola; Sam Boutris, clarinet; Chelsea Wang, piano
Tan, Boutris, and Wang will perform works by Mozart and Bruch, gems of the chamber music repertoire revolving around the viola and clarinet. Elements of the instruments’ singing, breathing, and speaking characteristics will be compared as the artists discuss their interplay—and exchangeability—in classical music.
